"All this commotion will only last a few days, then the whole thing will blow over. They can't possibly deport an entire city," someone said reasurringly. - taken from "On Both Sides of the Wall"

I chose this quote taken from an ordinary Jewish man because it shows how even though they were being persecuted, the Jewish people never realized or believed that the Nazis could deport and eventually kill entire cities.

Post reaction to //Conspiracy-// I found this movie to be very interesting in terms of how even the most brilliant men of this time period were slowly giving in to the terrible ideas composed by Reinhard Heydrich. This man came into the meeting knowing exactly what he wanted to happen and he simply forced the other men to go along with his plan. This was a short term example of how the rest of Germany shifted because it started out with people hesitant about the ideas of the Nazis, but gradually they became excited about the ideas. I also found the movie interesting because of the fact that we know what did happen and the past and how it all evolved from this single meeting. Because of the fact that we know that millions of Jews were murdered, it is hard to believe that this happened by the few men that simply talked about it before actually carrying out the action.

Post reaction to //Escape from Sobibor-// I really enjoyed watching this movie because it was very interesting to see how the whole process of the escape came together. At times it was very nerveracking watching the movie because you could see how the plan could or could not work out depending on the exact position of some of the men. It was also interesting to see how the people reacted in such a chaotic manner when they were told that they were escaping right at that point. Some people abandoned or maybe even hurt others just to try to get to the freedom that was told they could get to. **
